tackled the suspect. police say 41 year old had to ya. ya mcgarr me. told them he was disgruntled with our bay and aimed to kill him. it was a rare occurrence in a country with a low crime rate and some of the world's most restrictive gun laws. emma can men or chic usa. we cannot accept that this violent act took place during an election, the foundation of democracy. in the strongest terms, i condemn this attack and to the 67 year old was a dynamo of japanese politics and a 3rd generation politician. his grandfather was prime minister, his father, foreign minister with abby distinguished himself as the longest serving prime minister with 2 terms in office. he broad stability to

a political system that tended to kind of churn out. prime ministers are one after another. i'm not only dad, but he was also transformative and japanese politics. he made japan a much more significant player in terms of regional and i would say, even global security. abbe promoted policies dubbed ib nomics, intended to boost the economy. he wanted to strengthen japan's geo political clout by amending its post world war 2 pacifist constitution. it proved polarizing among the public and his efforts failed. during his last year in office, he was criticized for his handling of the coven 19 pandemic. cuz as i say, i've worked hard every single day to revitalize the economy and conduct diplomacy that would protect the national interest during this time. i'm proud of taking on various challenges with the japanese people. oh oh, though i be resigned in 2020 siding, poor health. the following year he returned to japanese politics and continued to

wield influence within the liberal democratic party. a man who couldn't shed his political skin assassinated for it. natasha rename l g 0. o rama bride has covered japan extensively. he has more on the reaction. japan's prime minister, a few me from japan's prime minister, few mere casita to me. ok. she that really finds himself an extraordinary situation . finding himself confronted, i think by nationwide grief trauma shock and offering off, i think a mix of salis comfort, but also with a sense of defiance. when he 1st arrived back in tokyo, as soon as he realized how grave the situation was, he returned to tokyo. he like others, had been out campaigning for these upper house elections. when he 1st spoke to reporters, he appeared visibly shocked, tearful at describing. this is a barbaric and malicious act. later on when it was confirmed that she had indeed

died, that he offered a more defiant tone, saying that these elections must go ahead, must be seen to go ahead. the campaigning will resume tomorrow, saturday and japanese people will go to the polls on sunday saying that, you know, you cannot give way to what he calls political violence. that the election process, the campaigning, has to continue and paying tribute to sions, ab, a personally, as a statesman, as a political leader, as a friend to him personally, but also as a mentor. he was the longest serving prime minister, probably the best known figure in politics, both domestically and japan and also worldwide and to figure who now is no longer with us. said you took a sheet as a professor of information at the university of she luca. he says, it's hard to understand what the motive may have been. that's

a big mystery because the person is assassinated doesn't out. he doesn't have any particular in a political motive, or at least he just simply says that he disliked, you know, obviously so much. so we're all basically puzzled as to you know, his motives and why you have to do this because whether you're pro or anti ave, one must basically, you know, admire his performance and you know, d. c, he had done throughout the years for japan. we don't have any gun crimes last year . i think be a total death by gun violence was in the one and i think was for the year before that. so we hardly have any done violence. and that's probably the reason why this assassinate or had to make, you know, his own gun in order to conduct his barbarian act. and are even, you know, we obviously do have literally ology differences, etc,

etc. and we have no argument, etc, etc. but we don't go into stage of setting up bombs or killing people, that's a totally different dimension. and that's not how the democratic process in this country goes. so it really is, is, you know, taken people very much by surprise. and we're basically all very much god smack say to say the least attributes of pouring in for the late japanese lead them. china reacted to the association, assassination through its embassy in tokyo. it said abbe had made contributions to improving china. japan relations. the south korean president humans took, you'll describe the shooting as an unforgivable act of crime, french president of my new microns said japan had lost a great prime minister who dedicated his life to his country and work to ensure order in the world. and india's prime minister moran ramadi, reflected on his recent meeting with abbe, saying he was witty and inciteful as always is announced

by the killing of this. are they all over latin america? here in chile, the president called into her crime in argentina president albert finance and called him a great friend of argentina. remember that for now this is a left wing. 8 politician quite the opposite of either of and yet he said that he had, he wished his loved ones well and his condolences all around but in the case of jane one, so not all you are quite right. it goes a lot further was not called for. 1 extreme least strong punishment against the person who killed the former japanese leader. and as you said, he has called for 3 days of national mourning. that goes a lot further. and the reason probably is that this kind of of a killing is something that he knows something about who remember that he was

almost killed himself during the campaign rally when he was running for president. 4 years ago. he was stabbed by someone in the crowd. he knew very nearly died. he had to have, i think 3 opperation after the initial after it was initially taken to hospital. so it's so it's something that he feels very personally. i think that i think that could explain what one might call a very emotional reaction. to the assassination of ave, and the calling for 3 days of national warning in latin, america's largest country largest economy. all right, let's see and human incense. yeah. okay. thank you. that during his time in office shin. so abbe has pushed to reform japan's pacifist constitution. let's take a look at what this all means. japan's current constitution was drafted by the u. s . after the 2nd world war, article 9 renounced war, and only allowed japan to have a defense force that couldn't deploy abroad. shins obey attempt to revise this amy

to counter the growing militaries of china and north korea. he passed legislation in 2015 that allowed japan self defense forces to support allies in foreign conflicts. the move was divisive. the us supported it, but china and north korea disapproved. i also faced public backlash from many who didn't want to see japan involved in was abroad. ok, well let's begin. michael harrison. he's head of asia practice at your age agree. p joins us by skype from new york. thanks for your time. as i mentioned that one of the things i buy is known for is the revival of the country's military. off to decades, long pass of his constitution. why was it important for him to do this? well i think prime minister abe's goal was in some ways to make japan more of a normal country to step out of this somewhat confined role that had been imposed on japan. as you mentioned when the constitution was drafted shortly after world

war 2. but he was also responding to security threats, as you said, in particular, to the rise of china, more assertive china, which was an issue that really occupied a lot of abe's attention and was the central part of this. and he was, of course, one of the firstly, just to reach out to, to donald trump when he became yet us president tim resurrecting tre ties with the us. how important was it for him to do that? it well ave had really a tremendous impact on us policy in the asia region. he was either the architect or at least the leading proponent of a lot of the key initiatives that shape how the u. s's is interacting with asia today. that includes this notion of an indo pacific that brings in india as part of, of the countries that the u. s. and japan were closely with it includes a leadership of that t p, p,

a trade deal. and he was remarkably effective in dealing with tromp in ways that many of other u. s. allies failed to do. i think he was a very savvy about how he treated trump and it was quite effective. the us japan relationship state quite strong throughout the trump period. and it's very strong today. so he was prominent internationally as you mentioned that, but domestically, was he a good leader? i mean, he's known, of course for app nomics designed to break japan out of years of economic stagnation. but did that benefit all well i, you know, he was really a towering figure in japanese politics. he was 2 hands along a surveying, prime minister. and he's been out of office now for a for a couple of years, but he was still kept his seat in the lower house. and he, in fact, was on the campaign trail. that's where he was assassinated and leads

a leading faction within the ruling l t. p party, in terms of his legacy. as you noted, a key aspect of it was, was a hobby. nomics was trying to revive japan's economy. and i think there, you would have to give him a partial grade. he certainly has not been able to fully refers to pan slow growth and period of, of cost act nation. but he has had some import legacies, increasing the role of women in the labor force, trying to push through some structural forms. and really just being much more active about trying to lift japan out of his economic malaise. even though one would have to say it's, it's only been a partial success because the come prime minister responded to to news of this assassination by saying that democracy will continue to define tone. he seems to have sent ahead of an election this weekend. well that's right, a prime minister cuz shita is a part of the l d. p party doesn't not completely in an op
